Parvovirus in dogs

Parvovirus in dogs is a serious virus that can cause death to your dog--usually a puppy.  The younger the pup, the higher the mortality rate.  This virus does damage to the small intestines.
Symptoms that are common is sudden lethargy.  Your puppy is not interested in playing at all.  The other symptoms that are common are vomiting and/or diarrhea.  The diarrhea is very foul-smelling and may contain blood.  You should contact a veterinarian immediately. 
There is a vaccine for this virus.  
Make sure that your pup is vaccinated before you take him to where there are other dogs.
